 Ok so far ... Kidde's customer service is definitely not November 28, 2009
John Z. (Cincinnati, OH)
I had a house full of Kidde 1275 smoke alarms, and after several malfunctions (including one electrical problem causing it to literally "go up in smoke"), I replaced them with the i12040 ... only because I wanted something that would "drop in" with the current mounting system and wiring. That they did, and I've had no false alarms in the month they've been installed.
Why the 2 stars? Previous to purchasing, I contacted Kidde (via their customer service web page) to ensure the i12040 units had the same mounting system as the old 1275's and to ensure the wiring would be compatible with all the Kidde alarms on the system. Kidde never responded. I found out from a do-it-yourself web forum that these would work fine.
Kidde's customer support is notoriously poor. The old 1275 units were deficient in design and/or manufacture - and Kidde refused to acknowledge this. I won't give high marks to a company that won't respond to customer service issues.
 Smoke Alarm with two power sources November 5, 2009
M. A. Baker (Charlottesville, VA)
This Kidde smoke alarm is hard wired to the buildings 120v ac power distribution system but also has a 9V dc battery to back up the ac system. If the 120v ac circuit blows a breaker, you are still protected by the 9V dc battery. Similarly, if the battery goes dead, the 120v ac system is there to maintain the performance of the smoke detector. I feel much more protection with the two systems backing each other up.
This is an Amazon Verified Review.
Easy install, Great Kidde Quality October 29, 2009

My house is about 10y and had the Kidde 1275's. Never had any issue with them, but it was that time to replace them as they are coming of age.
These used the same connectors, so all I did is change the mounting ring, since the others were discolored with age and plugged them in. No more than 5 min each. Had to change 8 of them out.
Kidde makes good products that are reliable!
Works As Advertised October 21, 2009
Gilbert Villanueva Jr. (San Antonio, TX)
Bought this unit after a Kiddie 1275 unit failed in my house. This is a perfect replacement. Even from a cosmetic appearance the smoke detector looks and snaps right into place. Had no problem using existing power/data lines, detector functions perfectly.

Diane Wargolet (West Bend, WI USA)
This is a replacment and it works very well. We have five others hardwired in our home and we are satisfied with the protection. It is an older model and am grateful to Amazon because we could not find it anywhere else.
